DotF: Florial continues to rake on rehab assignment

Some quick notes:

• C Anthony Seigler, this year’s first round pick, has not played since July 4th, though Josh Norris says he’s not hurt, so that’s good. Not sure why he hasn’t played lately though. Kinda weird. UPDATE: Norris says Seigler has a minor hamstring issue. So there you go.
• C Josh Breaux, this year’s second round pick, is injured, however. He’s been out since July 11th with a minor hamstring injury and is day-to-day. Breaux’s not even on the disabled list.
• RHP Garrett Whitlock has been promoted to Double-A Trenton, the team announced. He has a 1.55 ERA (2.24 FIP) in 87.1 innings split between Low-A and High-A so far this season.

Short Season Staten Island Yankees (4-1 loss to Vermont)

• CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — first pro homer for this year’s fifth rounder, who is a speed guy more than a power guy

The Rookie Pulaski Yankees had a scheduled off-day.

Rookie GCL Yankees East (3-1 loss to GCL Tigers West)

• CF Estevan Florial: 4-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 3B — played nine innings in center field back-to-back days, which probably means the rehab assignment is coming to an end soon … 17-for-31 (.548) with three doubles, three homers, and five steals in nine rehab games … he’s raised his season batting line from .246/.353/.343 to .301/.394/.464 during the rehab assignment
